I'm going to be buying a flat panel HDTV. I want to be able to show
pictures or movies stored on my computer like a slide or movie
projector in the "old days".
I have an ethernet cable connected to my home network that comes out
near the place I will put the TV. My computer is in another room of
the house (office).
Do the HDTV's come prepared to do this "remote computer screen"
function or are there any ethernet to tv adapters that could do this?
Some HDTVs have a USB jack where you can plug in a memory key with the pics on it. I assume the TV generates a menu that lets you select the pictures with the remote. I haven't tried it yet on mine.
Somehow the experience would not be sufficiently authentic without the sound of a noisy fan and all the mechanical clicking and clacking as each slide is pulled down from the carousel into the projector. There should also be a way to adjust the focus. And of course you need Uncle Elmer narrating the slides.
